Introduction
Have you ever thought about the last person to die at Auschwitz? (the concentration camp) Well that person would be Kurt Gerron, a famous Theatre-Person took a stand through movies, songs, and other things during WW II. He rebuked the Nazis Movement, and this was important, because it cost him his life. During most of his life (1897-1944) he was a happy, rich movie maker.
He was a WW I war veteran, wounded, and wanted to become a doctor. The push that got Kurt into the film industry started in a nightclub, in Berlin. Kurt went regularly and saw many performers. He was tempted to try, and found that he was a good actor. In 1920 he got his first big break when Trude Hesterberg saw Kurt in a cabaret. He was offered a role in ‘Wild

Well, what caused WW II? After WW I when the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Germany was very unstable. From the damage done from the war, and the things asked for by the allies caused Germany much sorrow. (History.com Staff) Germany had to pay lots. The economy failed, and all because they had lost “The Great War”. The german people wanted their pride and economy back. Hitler promised these. His campaign was fueled by hate, he got elected for chancler and rebuked the Treaty of Versailles. He rearmed and started taking over. ("WWII …show more content…
His wife was with him through most of it, at Theresienstadt, and Auschwitz. She was saved at Theresienstadt, because she, “didn’t look jewish enough” for their propaganda. As for her death, she was gassed with Kurt Gerron.
("Kurt Gerron") Like mentioned before his parents, Olga, his niece(s), and sibling(s). He impacted Hans, and Renee, but Kurt didn’t just impact people close to him though,he was famous! I’m sure he was missed. He was daring. He impacted many long term too. He had his movies which were well enjoyed! Before WWII (as you may recall) in Germany he was a “Household name”, “Much loved”, and “a member of the family”. He was special, a war hero, an actor, and a husband. Again with more detail, Hans bring back the subject of Westerbork, “ everybody know him..His wife next to him… laughing..”. He was great enough to even have a book, and two documentaries about him. He was also in (about) 70 films! This man is
just because the guy he was. He a big effect in his family and had a big influence on his family.
Arguably the most popular — and certainly the busiest — movie leading man in Hollywood history, John Wayne entered the film business while working as a laborer on the Fox Studios lot during summer vacations from university, which he attended on a football scholarship. He met and was befriended by John Ford, a young director who was beginning to make a name for himself in action films, comedies, and dramas. Wayne was cast in small roles in Ford's late-'20s films, occasionally under the name Duke Morrison. It was Ford who recommended Wayne to director Raoul Walsh for the male lead in the 1930 epic Western The Big Trail, it was a failure at the box office, but the movie showed Wayne's potential as a leading actor. During the next nine years, be busied himself in a multitude of B-Westerns and serials — most notably Shadow of the Eagle in between occasional bit parts in larger features such as Warner Bros.' Baby Face. But it was in action roles that Wayne excelled, exuding a warm and imposing manliness onscreen to which both men and women could respond.
Irene Fogel Weiss was born in Czechoslovakia (present-day Ukraine) in the year 1930. During Irene’s childhood, the Hungarians were allied with the Nazis and the town she lived in had just become a part of Hungary. Her father’s business was confiscated, Irene could no longer attend school, and her family was deported to Auschwitz. At Auschwitz, Leah, Irene’s mother, was gassed along with Irene’s smaller siblings. Irene will be returning to Auschwitz for the third and last time.
The actions of Adolf Hitler the Führer of the German Empire are the main causes for the starting of World War Two. The military actions of Germany such as rearming of the German forces, which increased Hitler’s power and confidence dramatically as did the assistance Germany provided during The Spanish Civil War. The breaking of The Munich Agreement by Hitler was also a very important cause because it made the other powers realise that Hitler could not keep his word and did not want peace. Finally Hitler’s overconfidence that he could invade Poland without starting a war was on of his most important actions as it the trigger point for the Second World War. As a result of Hitler’s actions millions of lives were lost and the entire world would never be the same again.
Another factor in causing World War II was the Wall Street Crash of 1929 resulting in a 2-year economic depression all over the world. Not only did these cause countries such as Britain and France to take a less active foreign policy, but also it destroyed the newly found prosperity in Germany and made many people jobless. This led to Hitler
The causes of World War II can be attributed to the following ideas or events: the mentality of power is strength by Heinrich von Treitschke, the Treaty of Versailles, the global depression following the end of World War I, and Nazi Imperialism.
Germany was economically frail subsequent to World War I. The Treaty of Versailles had held them accountable for the cause, and the Great Depression further deteriorated their condition. Germany was ambitious for power and resources. Envisioning world domination, Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany, led his Nazi Party to invade Poland in 1939. France and Britain guaranteed to offer military support if Poland were to become attacked; they declared war, initiating World War II.
World War Two was the most devastating conflict in the history of humanity. It crippled many nations and caused millions of people to die. One of the major causes of this disastrous war was the Treaty of Versailles which ended the First World War. This treaty was destructive towards the Germans. Germany had to pay large amounts of reparations to the Allied nations at the end of World War One resulting in a Great Depression in Germany. Additionally, the Treaty of Versailles’ war guilt clause forced Germans to admit full responsibility for starting the war. Furthermore, to gain the support of the German populace, Adolf Hitler adopted an effective propaganda campaign. Adolf Hitler employed a successful propaganda campaign to gain the support of the German people combined with the Treaty of Versailles harsh economic and political sanctions ignited World War Two.
World War II was not only started by Adolf Hitler and Germany, but had a lot to do with the humiliation that Germany felt when the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were laid down. The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles may be indirectly related to the cause of World War II, but nonetheless was a huge factor in starting the war.
The Duke takes his place in history. John Wayne, one of America’s greatest actors and directors of all time. His fame and superstardom led to many problems in his career. His image as an icon of American individualism and the frontier spirit has overshadowed his career to such an extent that it is almost impossible for the fans and writers to separate Wayne the legend from Wayne the actor and Wayne the man.
It is still very common to see “The Duke’s” face lingering around on television. Perhaps, he paved the way for such movie stars as Clint Eastwood, who also has made a name for himself through western films. Without a doubt, there will never be anyone quite as influential and all-American as “The Duke”. Everyone respected John Wayne. You might even say that some people were frightened by the rugged western and the war roles that he played. When our country was off fighting World War II, John Wayne was unable to be in the military because of an inner ear problem, but reports say that his movies about war kept everyone’s spirits up. He was a very patriotic man in real life, not only in film, and in my opinion, he is definitely an American icon.
Five years later he became an actor assigned to a seven year contract with the Warner Brothers. He then relocated to Hollywood where he made around fifty movies. In 1947 Ronald Reagan was elected to be the president of the Screen Actors Gu...
As an Austrian born soldier-turned-politician, Hitler was fascinated with the concept of the racial supremacy of the German people. He was also a very bitter, very evil little man. In addition, having lost the war, the humiliated Germans were forced by the Allies to sign the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 that officially ended World War I. According to the harsh terms of the treaty, Germany had to hand over many of its richest industrial territories to the victors, and was made to pay reparations to the Allied countries it devastated during the war. Germany lost its pride, prestige, wealth, power, and the status of being one of Europe's greatest nations.
There were many causes that led to World War Two, some of them being: The Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Japan as a world power, the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany, and The League of Nations. However, the main reason that the Second World War was inevitable was unquestionably due to the rise of Adolf Hitler. WWII was directly brought about by his actions in the 1930s. Even though the League of Nations had set measures in place to avoid this happening, they were unable to prevent the war due to the fascist thinking that led Hitler to believe that Germany could win the war.
There were many causes of World War II. Germany wanted to expand in Europe. Italy wanted to expand in Africa. Japan wanted to expand in Asia & the Pacific. Other causes of the War include: the Treaty of Versailles, rise of dictatorship in Italy and Germany, expansionist policy of the Axis Powers, policy of Appeasement, and the weakness of the League of Nations.
